There is nothing wrong with President-Elects cabinet choices. These choices are the right decision for running this country. There may be hope for Obama Hussein yet, as there is only 1 o f these people that is not good for the country. It's good that there are some center rite choices for the cabinet, because this reflects the vast majority of America. Even Joe Libermen agrees that this is a perfect cabinet to lead America until the democrats are experienced enough to make mature enough decisions for this center right country.

deane,
Who are you trying to convince of this country's "center right-ness", the rest of us or yourself?

i'm sorry,deane,but you cannot be more mistaken.keeping the same people in the government will only maintain the status quo.i doubt that the working America-the one that has been suffering in the current crisis whilst paying out the biggest thieves of Wall Street - agrees.power to the people!!!

If people decided to VOTE for a promise of CHANGE and receives a CENTER CONSERVATIVE cabinet, fraud is the only sure on it. TRUE TRUE

Center right - horse poop! On every issue from health care to women's rights the Americans are if anything center left. Research Pew studies on these issues to see where Americans stand on people issues.

Obama has to govern, everyone except hard core right wingers and left wingers seem to think he is picking well.

The question for me is, can he sweep up Dems, Indys and the alienated GOP center-rights in a consensus administration where the CONSENSUS is FDR LIBERALISM? If Bam is that kind of genius then he can put Rupert Murdoch in his cabinet and it won't matter. And maybe he has!!!!

I think that very soon we will hear the eloquent speaking abilities of Obama reduced to the turkey tongues of his cabinet—Gobble Gobble or was it Goebbels Goebbels?

Or as I always say, “Hells Bells”, which translates in Obama cabinet speak to either Ding Dong or Ding-a-ling (in this case the cabinet is wondering about what’s for dinner in the middle of a top secret National Security meeting or it could be a vital decision to bomb Pakistan or not—In which case the National Security meeting goes as follows:

Joe Lieberman’s two sense: “Gobble Gobble”

Barack Obama questioning: “Was that a Ding Dong or Ding a ling Joe?”

John McCain: “Gobble Gobble!!!!” (A very emphasized jugular Gobble—common is south West Turkey speak—which can mean either “I am going turkey beak you to death”, which in a National Security meeting means “Attack” or it could also mean, “I’m horny as hell and want to hump your mother” which in a National Security meeting means “I want a double side order of acorns before I can say anything serious”)

Bill Clinton then interjects flapping his arms with his fists bent in towards his chest, “Garble, Garble” which is Turkey Code (South East Turkey speak) for “Go ahead and hump my mother she’s dead but I’m going to cigar your VP candidate in Turkey Head Office (in prior times known as the Oval Office) which in a National Security meeting could also translate into, “I agree bomb the mothers to kingdom cum”

Sarah Palin then squawks, “Goebbels Goebbels” which in far north turkey speak means she’s quoting the Lord’s Prayer—“Our Father…” or it could turkey code for “can’t wait I’m having an organism at the though—me Monica II” or in national security translation it could mean, “Is Pakistan a place or is that a leader of a country?” or “I’m hungry plain grain will do me fine”

And ….you can finish this with your own fantasy
